The Ultimate Combat Vehicle. =)

You can keep your wimpy battlemechs, gundams and WWII era tanks. I got me a REAL combat vehicle! LOL.

Anyone remember the Car Wars board game? I never actually played it, but I always loved the concept, and the construction rules were alot of fun. Used to create extremely fast, high dollar street cars on paper.

Anyways, I decided not all that long ago to build one, an Alt-Timeline story I was wroking on at one point.

I am calling it a 1984 Lincoln Mark VII. Blown 454 tucked under the hood. Twin .50 machineguns and a 20mm cannon mounted inside the front bumper. A standard option 8-cell 2.75-inch rocket launcher on the roof and two smoke/oil dischargers mounted over the rear bumper. And it seats four in a rather plush interior.



And with a basic paint job;





I seem to be having problems with the mapping though, for some reason, the Unwrap keeps resetting itself, no idea why. And even loading the UVW file I saved out doesn't help. So the maps may look a bit off.

And if anyone has an idea to help make it look more realistic, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

C&C always welcome of course.

Wonderful concept and the model itself..

P.S. This care is excellent for when you get stuck in traffic =)))

not bad, but afew things I would change, the windows are a huge weak point and dont just use the excuse of "thier bullet proof" because in a high caliber battle those windows would hold no protection, I would replace the windows with steal plating with small port holes. the futuristic look is alittle different then what I would envision for a combat car, the tone for me would be more of a darker green or brown as apposed to the white look, maybe some battle scars or not if you want the brand new look. I would also try adding alittle more of a mad max feel to it with some front bumper spikes for ramming damage.

anyways thats my suggestion.

I love the idea and realization. You could put some steel bars in front of the windows.
